Firstly, I would like to begin by thanking you all, our great supporters, for the loyalty you have shown over the summer. So many of you have purchased season-tickets and over 6000 of you will roar on the team against Coventry City tomorrow.
I also want to thank you for your support at the Real Madrid game. We wanted to arrange this game for the supporters, as a thank you, and to sell every ticket in the stadium helped to create a very memorable day for us all.
With such an incredible endorsement from you, our focus turns to the future and to ensuring that we deliver on our objectives this season.
Our target remains the same; to reach the Premier League. However, the difference this season is that we will focus upon everything at the Club, not just the players.
We have made a considerable investment in the renovation of the stadium and pitch, the training ground and the new Fanstore. The improvements are now there for everyone to see. Leicester City Football Club is moving forward and we will leave no stone unturned in our quest for excellence on and off the field of play.
We believe in the future of this great Club, which is evident through our successful academy. With that in mind, the training ground investment will ensure that our academy continues to produce quality players for the future of Leicester City.
On the field, I believe in the players that already exist at the Club and have seen their confidence rise since new players have been acquired over the summer. We have, of course, brought those players in so that we can reach the Premier League sooner rather than later.
Our world-class manager, Sven-Goran Eriksson is assembling a strong squad, with depth in every position and we now have more balance and experience within the dressing room.
I have been asked why I have invested so much in to Leicester City. It is an easy answer for me to give. I am doing this because of the response I have seen from the Leicester City supporters. When I see the faces of our supporters and I see them happy, I know why I am involved. The fans have given me greater confidence and faith and I aim to repay that with success.
We will not invest unless there is a worthwhile purpose. It is clear that certain clubs have attempted to hold Leicester City to ransom over players and we will not allow that. Every decision that we face, we will consider the value and we will make the investment to benefit the Club and our supporters. They will be our primary considerations.
Looking back over the summer, I wish to give mention to the games I watched in Sweden and Austria during the pre-season tour. I was both surprised and delighted to see that many supporters had driven and flown from the UK to follow the team. It made me think that if they can show this determination and always follow their team, then how can I not invest more to keep them satisfied?
I want to make these following principles very clear. I will fight for the Leicester City fans. I will support the players and the management on their behalf and I promise that I will never let Leicester City, or our supporters down. I will help to make the Leicestershire public proud of their Football Club and I remain committed to the Club and the supporters for the long-term future.
There is something special ahead for us, I can feel this. There is hard work to follow, but there is glory to be realised. Now is the time for us to make this happen.
Thank you for reading and thank you for your support. Enjoy the season.
